ABR Sidewinder, dual batt tray GROUP BUY

[shawn719]

First off, thanks for taking the initiative to try and set this up for the rest of us!

Secondly, may I ask a simple question regarding the battery tray...it seems like the only modification required is cutting the P/S bracket a bit, and the rest is bolt on?

Third, I've been reading about this tray for almost half a year already and I only realized just now that it's ABR, not ARB brand ::redbrick:

On your question - I would suggest looking at a few members setup for that answer. I have all the parts but have yet started to work project (which only seems to be growing week by week :rapture. I haven't read anything about cutting anything for tray to fit. I am confident with the slight movement of reservoir and reattachment to tray, one other slight move and you are on your way.

This is where I got this notion of cutting from, starting at this post:

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/113597-group-buy-aussie-battery-tray-8.html#post1077702

But no one ever mentions exactly what and where to start cutting :shrug:

I took a look at my P/S bracket earlier and it seems like we might have to chop off the pedestal part (the legs with the three holes that bolt to the body) and just keep the remaining V notched part for the P/S reservoir to slip into?

How long will the group deal post before the order goes out, Shawn? Not trying to rush, just planning mods and timing.

I'm in

Thanks for organizing this, this forum rocks! But, I'm starting to have quite an "investment" in my 5th gen .

I'll take:

A. the battery tray

Thanks,

I'm in!

Thanks Shawn for setting this up.

Please sign me up for:

Battery tray
Battery isolator with cable kit
Battery monitor
Fused positive terminal

If i understood the before mentioned post that the cables etc, might make shipping unreasonable for the group buy, I would also be happy with just the battery tray and buy cables and isolator elsewhere.

Thanks

Isolator is fine but I'd say buy you cables local. I purchased a length of Cale lugs and a lug crimper (off Ebay) at a good price. I can now make any custom length I need and at a cheaper cost.

Please list me for one battery tray. Thanks so much for doing this, Shawn. I'll add a bit of beer money once you get the totals!!!

I'll take a tray. I'm in Canada but will have it shipped to Washington - 98230

 

[shawn719]

Names have been updated and the time is drawing near for order. If anyone else wants to get in be sure to post name (and what it is you want) on this thread.

I will be adding totals and shooting an email to ABR soon to get the shipping cost and final prices so I can start letting everyone know what their amounts will be.
I prefer PayPal (as "gift" - I don't want to pay fees), but will consider other types of payment (check, MO, etc) BUT, check with me first - please.

Thanks
S

Let's order it! Any more interest?
